Mikey

From: $50.00

Mikey was 250 pounds underweight when Equine Advocates came to his rescue along with two other Thoroughbreds, D.A. & Arnold, who were left to starve on a New York horse farm back in January of 2007. They spent thirty-one days in an equine hospital recovering from a series of problems in addition to emaciation. Two years later, the New York Times uncovered more of what was an expanding story involving many horses and ultimately led to the conviction and jail time for the perpetrator. Born on April 3, 1999, Mikey is a sweet and gentle gelding who has never looked back since those dark days. He is a very healthy and robust horse today.He spends his days in the company of four other rescued Thoroughbreds, D.A., Freddie, Monty & Arnold in a part of the sanctuary we call “After The Finish Line.”

Gizmo

Gizmo, one of the largest Mules at the sanctuary, is the offspring of a rescued Clydesdale mare, Queen, who also resides at the sanctuary. Queen gave birth to Gizmo on March 27, 2001 and luckily Equine Advocates was able to rescue them both later that year along with Dolly, a Percheron mare, and her offspring Gomez, another handsome Mule. Both Queen & Dolly were work horses and used for breeding stock. Gizmo & Gomez spend their days together in the area here known as "Mule Town" along with several other former work mules and one former buggy horse. Photo credit: Jim Craner

Jeffrey Mac

Jeffrey Mac, born on May 1, 2004, is a Draft Cross and PMU offspring who spent the first month of his life in a hospital and almost didn't survive. Happily, he recovered completely and today is a very healthy horse. He loves sharing his large pasture that we call "Wise Guys" with his best pals, Connor and Beau. Jeffrey's dam is Fiona, who had also lived at the sanctuary, but sadly passed away in 2015.

Kelli

Kelli, a Saddlebred Cross born around 1996, is a former PMU mare from Canada who is still very untrusting of humans. Unlike many of the other PMU mares at the sanctuary who have come around, it is taking Kelli longer than the others. In her case, the emotional scars were apparently a lot deeper than the physical ones. Kelli will always have a home here with her pasture-mates Cindy and Rose.

Hayden

Hayden, a Wild American Mustang, arrived at the sanctuary on October 1, 2013. Born in 2007, Hayden was captured during a brutal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) round-up in the Pryor Mountains of Montana when he was just two years old. He had been through two adoptions before he came to us as a pasture-mate for Nelson, our other Wild American Mustang who had been on his own for a time since his buddy passed away. Hayden is a gorgeous equine with a rich history. His unique color is known as "Coyote Dun." He has a long Dorsal Stripe that runs down the entire length of his back and he has black stripes on his legs. Hayden loves the attention he gets from our staff and volunteers and he also seems to enjoy the slow pace and quiet of the farm. Photo credit: Terry Hawthorne
